FAQ

How much is the Nebraska reinstatement fee?

Direct answer

The Nebraska DMV charges $125 to reinstate after a revocation, including point, court-ordered, and administrative DUI revocations, and $50 after a no-proof-of-insurance or insurance cancellation suspension. An ignition interlock permit is a separate $50.

More detail

Those figures come from the DMV pages for each action as published in 2026, and the permit figure is $45 plus a $5 surcharge. The DMV takes a cashier's check, a money order, or online payment, and lists a $3 processing charge when the no-proof fee is paid online by card; its insurance cancellation page notes that personal checks are not accepted. The fee is only one line on the list. After a revocation the DMV also requires testing for a new license, after court-ordered and administrative revocations it wants the old license surrendered or an affidavit if it is lost, and proof of financial responsibility has to be on file where the action calls for it, and paying before that proof is on file moves nothing forward. The reinstatement fee is separate from any court fine, from the insurer's filing charge, and from the premium, and a record with two open actions can owe two fees. Iowa runs its own schedule: the Iowa DOT lists a $20 reinstatement fee plus the license fee, and a $200 civil penalty after an OWI revocation. The order of operations is in the reinstatement steps FAQ, and the fees and timeline table separates every charge by who sets it. Check the DMV page for your action before paying, since fees change.
